Default value in mvc model using data annotation

Question

Is it possible using data annotations to add default value for int property

something like

[DefaultValue=1]
public int MyId {get; set;}

Answer 1

Try this - set the default value in the constructor:

public class YOURMODEL
{
    public int MyId { get; set; }  

    public YOURMODEL()
    { 
        MyId = 1;       
    }
}

Later addition by other user: Since C# 6.0 (2015) this simpler syntax has been allowed:

public class YOURMODEL
{
    public int MyId { get; set; } = 1;
}
